~SATURDAY~
I woke up before eight and was just lying there. It was too cold in my room to get up and close the curtains and even if I had, I wouldn’t have been able to sleep any way. I silently cursed myself for many things. The first was leaving the AC on the ‘freeze your fucking ass off’ setting. The second was leaving the curtains open which allowed the light in, which woke me. The third was for being awake when I could have slept for two more hours. The fourth was for not plugging my phone in to charge the night before. The fifth was for not getting coffee creamer. The sixth was for not drinking enough water the night before which was why my belly wasn’t happy. The seventh was for forgetting my iron pills.
I got up and turned the AC off and put some music on. Into the shower I hopped and jammed to Gavin DeGraw while getting all cleaned up. After my shower, I put my PJ’s back on and woke MBB up to beg for a milk product of some kind and a few sheets of paper (for all my blog ideas) which he oh-so-sweetly let me have. Back in my room, I made up my bed, ironed everything, and wrote for a few minutes and then threw on some clothes and headed down stairs to meet every one. We went to The Stockyards and ate at a great BBQ place that I cannot remember the name of [note: looked it up, it was called Risckey's Barbeque]. Afterwards – SHOPPING. I bought the girls these very cool bracelets that I will link back to when I find a link to them and about fifteen bucks worth of candy. They are called Zoppini and just about the coolest thing I have seen in a very long time. [note: after doing this search, I spent thirty minutes!!! looking at charms and bracelets!] I plan on buying about fifteen of them and using them as gifts from now on. Have a birthday coming up? That’s what you are getting from me :P
When everyone had bought all they could afford to buy, we went to the Maze and competed with a woman I can only refer to as The Queen of the Maze (Babs). She did it in three minutes, which kicked the hell out of mine and Lola’s eight-minute score!
Then it was back to the hotel to drop off purchases and split up. I’m not real sure where everyone else went but The Girl drove me to Veronique’s apartment. I don’t want to go into all of that because it was really very sad and something I am going to be experiencing again this weekend and would rather write about separately. I will say that it was a very emotional thing for me. Walking in and seeing the helmet her father made her buy broke my heart, hearing me on her answering machine (something like eight messages) made me sad, and being so close to her but so far away was very painful. Last thing and very odd: the apartment complex is the same one I lived in when my grandfather died. It is actually where he had his heart attack. After we left and got back to the hotel, I locked myself in my room and tried to cry out all the painful memories before it was time to leave.

Who: katehopeeden
Where: San Antonio, Texas Yeah, so I am all that you see here. I am friendly and kind, crazy and bitchy, playful and flirty... sometimes I am funny but mostly I just write the first thing that comes to mind and then stop when it ends.

"The most wasted day is one in which we have not laughed"
"Life moves pretty fast, if you don’t stop and look around once in a while you might miss it."
"Guys are like stars, there's a million of them out there but only one of them can make your dreams come true."
"Reach for the moon, even if you miss you will still land among the stars"

"I just got done reading the history lessons on your blog (yes, I've been lurking on your blog). All the respect I had for you...has increased, like, tenfold. I don't think I could have done it. To go through what you have and not only still be able to discuss it with such wit and poise, but also to raise those three gorgeous girls. You are truly an inspiration. You are honestly one of the strongest people I have ever known, either online or IRL. Thank you so much." -Stef
